The Shure Stem CONTROL1 is a dedicated touchscreen control interface designed to manage Shure Stem ecosystem conferencing systems in meeting rooms and collaboration spaces. This sleek, wall-mounted or tabletop device provides an intuitive graphical user interface for users to control room functions such as starting or ending a video conference, adjusting microphone and speaker levels, selecting audio presets, and managing connected video sources. It serves as the primary user touchpoint, simplifying the operation of what can be a complex array of audio and video technology. The CONTROL1 connects to the network and communicates directly with other Stem devices (like the Stem Speaker, Table, and Hub) to send commands and receive status updates, creating a unified and responsive control environment.

The interface is built around a responsive, high-resolution touchscreen that displays contextual menus and clear status information. It can be customized by system integrators using Shure's design software to match the specific room configuration and user workflow, including branding, custom button layouts, and language. For example, a one-touch "Start Meeting" button can be programmed to wake the system, lower blinds, and launch the video conferencing software on a connected PC. The CONTROL1 is designed for reliability in commercial settings, with a robust enclosure and a responsive capacitive touch layer. It is typically powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by carrying both data and power over a single network cable.

As the command center of a Stem system, the CONTROL1 enhances the user experience by making advanced audio and video technology accessible and easy to manage. It empowers meeting participants to focus on collaboration rather than troubleshooting technology, while giving IT administrators a tool for remote monitoring and management. The Shure Stem CONTROL1 exemplifies the modern approach to integrated room control, where hardware, software, and user interface converge to create seamless and effective meeting environments.
